Smile! is a fundraiser event being held next Wednesday 31st March at The Tropicana Bar, at Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles.

It will be a rather fabulous evening of music provided by three of the best DJ’s on the circuit at the moment (James Outlaw, Zen Freeman and Kelly Cole) and of sipping the best cocktails in the world (our huge thanks to our friends at Belvedere for this pleasure).

What makes it all the better is that it gives us the chance to help one of the most important charities in the country - St Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

So even during these tough times, it’s important to remember that there are always people much worse off than ourselves, and what better way to give something back, than by buying a designer handbag at a snip of the usual price in the silent auction!

Yes, you got that right.  You can buy one of the wonderful items that have been donated… including…

TOM FORD / PAUL SMITH / CHROME HEARTS / ERICKSON BEAMON / ATOMIC FLOYD / DIESEL / MARTIN MARGIELA / JAMES ALLEN / THOMAS WYLDE / MICHAEL ANGEL / GREEN LINE / BEN SHERMAN / SIGNED PRINT BY MICK ROCK, FERLACAT PRODUCTIONS / SIGNED PRINT BY ALAN ALDRIDGE…… AND MUCH MORE.

Please let us know if you’d like to attend by sending your full name and your affiliation to the rsvp email address.  Space is very limited and we reserve the right to decline any requests based on the capacity of the venue.
